Had PDP won Ekiti this loud mouthed Agama lizard senator won't remember the number of phone lines in the country. Why not recommend voting by twitter since that is your constituency. Yeye man

Good Idea.

However, It Has Its Downsides

1. Not All Adults Own Phones;

2. Some Who Own Phones Didn't Register Inserted SIMs In Their Names;

3. If This Is Implemented, Phone Theft Is Likely To Increase Couple Of Days To Election;

4. In Event Of Need To Recount Votes, How Will We Go About It;

5. Finally, It Doesn't Really Stop Vote Buying. All A Political Party Needs To Do Is Send Town Criers To Each Ward Announcing That It Has Freebies For Willing Electorates At A Particular Venue On Day Of Election And All You Need To Get The Freebies Is To Come With Your Phone.

Simply Stated, It's A Good Idea. However, It Needs More Critical Thinking If It Will Work

I want to ask, what has this man done for his people so far? Trying so hard to make common sense on national issues I guess grin

If APC is in power, there will be a total network failure in the South East and North Central during voting.

Good question.
Infact, a common sense question.
A very good way to syncronize NCC and INEC database.

So... someone from Niger republic who buys MTN at Ojuelegba can vote abi? U need slap
Dear Mr. Slapist, do you understand the term "synchronization"?

That's more easy to rig. It would be very easy to buy votes.

If you know you know.

Very dumb, I hope senator Bruce hasn't forgotten he's in Nigeria. We always look for backdoors and loopholes to legitimate things. Moreover it won't work cos one person has up to 2 to 3 lines. And sometimes registered with different names. In fact I've started thinking of so many ways to beat this system if it were to be in play. That's how easy and dumb it'll be to even think of voting this way.

Choi PDP is really desperate

It seems Buhari has finally blocked every conceivable avenue to rig. This no sense senator is now forced to suggest trash to see if it will pass! grin

Clueless senator....
Re: We Have Over 100M Phone Lines, Why Can't We Vote By Text -sen.ben Bruce by Hemanwel(m):
INEC will be like:

"To vote APC for Change, text LIE to 419"

BTW:

When you have a mod like mynnd44 openly supporting APC/FG, the result is that more B M C posts will be seen while anti govt posts will be hidden

This is one of our leaders.

They don't have anything upstairs

You did not propose Electronic voting machine to be installed in a new voting center

Can you see why Nigeria is going backward?

Common sense is truly not common.

What a shameful tweet. Nonsense
Re: We Have Over 100M Phone Lines, Why Can't We Vote By Text -sen.ben Bruce by macuwon(m): 2:59pm On Jul 19, 2018
It sounds very reasonable at first glance, but when you now think about it, you'll see why even developed nations haven't given it a thought. This is not Bbnaija. It's Nigeria.
Re: We Have Over 100M Phone Lines, Why Can't We Vote By Text -sen.ben Bruce by honey001(m): 2:59pm On Jul 19, 2018
Common sense should tell this senator that this is not possible nah......

If Dat's possible and rig-proof, it's an awesome idea! BBN 2018 can be a case study cool
